Garden Tap - finding replacement connector after burst

    Hi - I had an outside tap burst a few weeks back. What burst is a small piece of pipe with two male fittings and I can't find a replacement.

    Ideally I'd like to just replace this connector otherwise I'm throwing away the tap and have to redrill the wall which is pebble dashed so it won't look as clean.

    From the picture of the tap and the connector .. the top side threads onto the tap and the bottom to the upfacing male water pipe coming out of the house.

    You can't remove the two male nuts as there's a metal fitting to prevent it at both ends. There's a rubber fitting on both sides of the burst connector.

    I'm thinking I could cut the pipe and slide them off and just replace the pipe but I'm hoping someone has an idea for a part/ better solution.

    Thanks for taking a look.

    It's just a length of pex with 2 nuts and 2 olives and 2 inserts. Any plumbing shop will sell you the makings of a new one. Just bring that with you and show it to them.
